There were seven cats in my front yard yesterday evening.  Two of them,
"Pip" and "Flinx" are "my" cats.  Four have clipped ears.  One stray,
"Dude" has moved in and pretty much driven "my" cats out of the house.
The four clipped ear cats are various levels of feralty.  The black long
hair is a five-foot cat.  The lynx-point long hair is semi-touchable.
The Russian Blue is a ten foot cat, but when cornered in the bathroom
and trapped under the toilet he can be stroked and he purrs.  The orange
kitten joins me at bedtime and behaves like an affectionate kitten with
kneading, head bumps and writhing around for tummy rubs.  Out of bed,
he's a five-foot cat.

All of these are male cats.  Of all the cats I've trapped for neutering,
at least three fourths have been male.  I presume this means that male
ferals outnumber female, and that females are not surviving.  Has anyone
noticed the same imbalance?
